The game is primarily a single-player experience, but it does have an online multiplayer component called Red Dead Online. The game features an open-world environment where players can freely explore the game’s fictionalized version of the American West, engage in various missions and activities, and interact with non-playable characters.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was developed by Rockstar Games and published by Take-Two Interactive. It was released on October 26, 2018, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and later for PC in November 2019. The game received critical acclaim for its story, characters, and gameplay, and has won numerous awards.

The gameplay features a mix of action, exploration, and role-playing elements. Players can engage in shootouts, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, and other activities while navigating through the game’s open-world. The game also features a morality system that affects the story and gameplay depending on the player’s choices.

Red Dead Redemption 2 does have cheat codes, which can be entered through the game’s pause menu. However, using cheats disables the ability to save progress and earn achievements/trophies.

The game has received widespread critical acclaim, with many praising the game’s story, characters, and attention to detail in the game’s world-building. It has also been criticized for its pacing and certain gameplay mechanics, but overall remains a highly-regarded game in the industry.
